Description Not the best pic, but I will get the detail shots, plus my in process gallery done soon.

Made from leather using patterns from Amethyst Angel with some modifications.
All "tooling", painting, detailing, etc by me!

((picture taken in a mirror, so the arm is on the correct (right not left) arm))

yea i don't quite understand how people can wear the i guess hard plastic versions that people commission/make their selfs..it would seem constricting to me..

Well, it is formed to your personal shaping, so it would be comfortable in that regard. The sweating from it is the only discomfort I would see...and it was really hot in Dallas, lol.

yup. As long as you know where the A/C, you are good! I'm actually going to go back and buy a wicking fabric shirt and wear it under the armor next time.

PhoenixFirecat In reply to TheOneInspiration [2012-05-31 05:26:00 +0000 UTC]

PhoenixFirecat In reply to TheOneInspiration [2012-06-04 22:42:30 +0000 UTC]

Not yet. I didn't have time, but I do have the plans in motion to build it. I'm still deciding whether to make it from leather or plastic. The arm is going to be rebuild as well as I learn more leather working techniques.

TheOneInspiration In reply to PhoenixFirecat [2012-06-05 03:39:56 +0000 UTC]

Oh I see! Well, I think it will look cool in both leather or plastic, so you should go with whichever one you feel most comfortable with! Good luck ^^
